Taco Soup

Taco Soup

This is great for when you don't know when you'll eat, and makes good leftovers.

1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 can corn (drained)
1 can tomatoes with green chilis
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce (or two little cans)
1/2 lb. ground hamburger, cooked
1/2 can black beans, optional
1 TBSP taco seasoning (I add more if I used 2 cans tomatoes instead of one with green chilis)
2 TBSP dried onions, or some fresh onion that I've diced and grilled

Put everything in a pot and simmer for half an hour.  Not as yummy but 15 minutes if you're in a hurry.  OR put on low in a crock pot or simmer on the stove for an hour if you don't know when the guests are coming.

Serve with tortilla chips and cheese and maybe sour cream.
